After years of bitterness and anger over her ex-husband’s betrayal, Claire Conway’s life finally seems to be on track. She has raised a fine son, Dakota. Her work is going well, and for the first time in years she finds herself attracted to a man once again! Then Dakota brings home his fiancée, Sara Jennings, and everything falls apart. For Sara turns out to be the same woman Claire’s husband had an affair with twelve years before. Forgiving Sara seems impossible. Yet only in that hour of forgiveness can the three of them be truly set free. Filled with real-life issues like bitterness and self-protection interwoven with a beautifully written story of one woman’s search for peace,The Forging Hourdramatically illustrates the power of supernatural healing and how transforms lives when we allow God to work in our hearts.

However the shocking discovery that happens in the prologue is rather too much of a coincidence to swallow. Moreover the subject matter of the book is decidedly 'adult', which isn't immediately obvious from the cover. Yet this is an American Christian author whose other novels are entirely suitable for young teenagers.
I also found the amount of Christian exposition and introspection to be rather excessive - even as a believer I skipped a lot of it. I suspect it would be quite offputting to anyone outside the church.
Not a bad book, and I downloaded it free for my Kindle a few years ago so it didn't cost me anything, and was a pleasant enough diversion. But I wouldn't really recommend it.
